Chapter 66 — I An a Master, Immortal Golden Body

Lu Sheng looked at this part of the introduction with some surprise.

Compared to the strength, agility, and defensive type martial artists, these elemental type martial artists were the real monsters, the new breed of humans.

“Elemental type martial artists have the terrifying ability to control wind, fire, ice, thunder, and other natural elements. Their growth and upper limit are more than ten times that of ordinary martial artists! Isn’t this similar to superpowers and mutants?”

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

According to the data, even in the coming ten thousand years of martial arts, elemental type martial artists were extremely rare.

Finally, there were the spiritual masters that Lu Sheng was familiar with. In fact, spiritual masters were also a type of martial artist. They were the rarest, most precious, and most powerful existences among martial artists.

But in the coming ten thousand years, a mature, systematic method of cultivating spiritual power would be  developed.

(For example: Crystal Contemplation Method)*

Anyone with a little talent could try to cultivate it. Therefore, in the future, the number of spiritual masters would be much greater than elemental type martial artists.

“Whether it be a Gifted Martial Artist or an ordinary martial artist, in the end, both worked towards the same end.”  Lu Sheng said to himself after he finished reading the info.

“In the early stages of martial arts, Gifted Martial Artists may have an absolute advantage over ordinary martial artists. But in fact, the further you go, the less obvious this advantage becomes. As far as I know, Level 7 Masters and Level 8 Grandmasters.

“Their blood and Qi would be as vigorous as gushing rivers. A punch can shatter mountains and sunder the earth, and change the course of a river. They are invulnerable to bullets. Isn’t this equivalent to the embodiment of all three attributes of strength, defence, and agility?

“Further up, Level 9 Martial Sages, Level Ten, and Level 11 Star Realm experts have all kinds of incredible magical means. It isn’t impossible for them to call the wind, summon the rain, and control thunder. How is it any worse than elemental type martial artists?

“Those with strong martial will, can even control and stimulate their cells to evolve. Can an ordinary spiritual master do that?

“Martial Dao cultivation is simply a different path that leads to the same goal. In the end, it’s all about digging out one’s own potential, unlocking the treasures of the human body, and promoting one’s existence …”

Lu Sheng himself was the best example.

He cultivated the Stellar Body Refining Technique and the Natural Breathing Technique, which caused his BQV to skyrocket. His CPI was far beyond ordinary people, so the outside world mistook him for a strength type martial artist.

In fact, he knew better than anyone whether he was or not.

“Mortals like to categorize all the incredible things that happen to others as gifts and miracles, when in fact …” Lu Sheng clenched his fists, his eyes glinting. “What kind of talent can compare to one’s own hard work and wisdom? Martial arts itself is the greatest miracle of the human race!”

Closing the introduction to the innate martial artists on the Photon Mind, Lu Sheng suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since he had checked his life history.

Thinking of this, he gave a command to the Photon Mind.

“Show me my personal information.”

[Retrieving …]

[Name: Lu Sheng]

[Gender: Male]

[Lifespan: June 297 M.C. – March 452 M.C.]

[Martial Prowess: Level 7 Martial Artist]

[Life Summary: … Became a Level 2 Martial Artist at the age of 18, causing a sensation in Baihe City. Later, under the recommendation of the Baihe City Martial Arts Association, he participated in the Dongning Province’s Prodigy Training Camp and obtained first place.

In the same year, he entered the Dongning University of Martial Arts securing the highest score in the city, coming 1st in the province, and 53rd in the country in the college entrance examination.

…

He became a Level 6 Warrior at the age of 40. Becoming a Level 7 Master at the age of 65 …

…

In July, Year 452 M.C., an old injury flared up. He passed away at the age of 156.]

Hum!

Lu Sheng’s eyes suddenly shone with a strong light, and a hint of excitement flashed between his brows.

Level 7 Master!

This time, his future had changed again. He had actually set foot in the Level 7 Master realm in his lifetime!

A Master!

In ancient times, he would be considered a feudal lord. Even now, he would be an important figure. If he became an official, he could easily take on important provincial tasks. If he joined the army, he would be a general in the military ranks.

In other words, even if Lu Sheng only followed the prescribed path now, he could at least become a Master in the future.

How could he not be shocked by this?

If it were anyone else, if they knew that they would definitely become a Master in this lifetime, they would probably be so happy that they would fall to the ground.

“Phew …” Lu Sheng took a deep breath, trying hard to calm down the excitement in his heart. “Since I’ve become a Master, my evaluation and authority should have increased again …”

Sure enough, he continued to read.

Lu Sheng’s historical evaluation had indeed reached three stars. His authority had also reached Level 3.

“Level 3 authority, then the techniques I can search for in the Fireseed Repository must be of a higher level …” Lu Sheng was quite happy and quickly commanded Photon Mind.

“Search for the follow-up techniques of Stellar Body Refining Technique, Natural Breathing Technique, and Crystal Contemplation Method.”

[Retrieving …]

Sure enough, Photon Mind did not prompt him that his authority was insufficient this time.

Not long after, three techniques were found and presented in front of Lu Sheng.

[Stellar Physical Refinement Technique (Advanced)]

[Technique Introduction: Created by Martial Alliance Level 11 powerhouse, Wang He. Included in the Fireseed Plan.]

[Natural Breathing Technique (Advanced)]

[Technique Introduction: Created by Martial Alliance Level 11 powerhouse, Yang Yizhou. Included in the Fireseed Plan.]

[Crystal Contemplation Method (Advanced)]

[Technique Introduction: Created by Martial Alliance Level 11 powerhouse, Duan Yifeng. Included in the Fireseed Plan.]

Lu Sheng clicked on the Stellar Body Refining Technique’s advanced chapter. With just one glance, his breathing quickened.

“Forging an eternal will of the unextinguished stars, creating an indestructible Immortal Golden Body …”

Immortal Golden Body, Stellar Body Refining Technique – Tendons and Bones Refinement Chapter.

Lu Sheng had known for a long time that once a martial artist reached Level 3, they would begin to refine their tendons and bones.

This was also the stage where a martial artist truly laid the foundation, widened the gap, and transformed. This was because at Level 4, a martial artist’s inner strength was born from their flesh, blood, tendons, and bones.

How well their tendons and bones were refined was directly related to their inner strength and the gap in their combat strength.

And in the Stellar Body Refinement Technique’s advanced chapter, there was actually a technique specially created for this stage … It was called the Immortal Golden Body!

“If I can successfully refine my body using the advanced chapter, I can improve all aspects of my body to an incomparably shocking level. And this stage of training should also be the true foundation for the Stellar Body Refinement Technique’s future development … where one can reach the realm of immortality and indestructibility, where cellular regeneration is possible, and the physical body becomes invincible.”

Thinking about it carefully, it felt normal.

The Stellar Body Refinement Technique claimed that when cultivated to the end, one’s body would contain the mighty power of a star. If one’s body was not strong enough, how could one store a star?

He was afraid that the heat wave released during cultivation would burn him to death.

Lu Sheng roughly checked the specific cultivation process of this stage of the Stellar Body Refinement Technique.

He suddenly found that the new movements unlocked were many times more difficult than before, and many of them needed to be done together with the stimulation of mental strength to be effective.

“Sure enough, the road of martial arts leads to the same destination but by different means. Physical training is also inseparable from the assistance of mental strength.

“From another perspective, the Stellar Body Refinement Technique’s cultivation threshold is also very high. Not just anyone can practice it. At the very least, one must have the talent of a Spiritual Master …”

Lu Sheng sighed and continued to look at the Natural Breathing Technique’s advanced chapter, and released another suffocated noise.

“So powerful!”

After reading the contents of the Natural Breathing Technique’s advanced chapter, Lu Sheng could only say these two words.

The Natural Breathing Technique, which was slightly mediocre in the entry stage, finally bloomed in the advanced chapter . It was not inferior to the dazzling brilliance of the other two Level 11 techniques.

The entire advanced technique of the Natural Breathing Technique only taught one thing, and that was … How to cultivate the special inner strength!

“When a martial artist is promoted from Level 3 to Level 4, although the increase in BQV is not much, the CPI will undergo a qualitative transformation. It is because of the appearance of the inner strength!”

At this stage, the gap between the martial artist widened irrevocably.

The inner strength cultivated by a Gifted Martial Artist with a solid foundation and outstanding talent would far surpass that of an ordinary martial artist.

Among them, some people could even carry special attribute abilities to their inner strength. Of course, this could only be done by those martial artists with elemental type talents, who were said to be rarer than pandas.

It was also because of this that martial artists with elemental type talents had a crushing advantage in the early stages of martial arts.

The advanced technique of the Natural Breathing Technique described how an ordinary martial artist could achieve the same level as an elemental martial artist.

Let one’s inner strength carry special attributes, or even surpass that! And there was more than one special attribute that could be switched back and forth!

“Communicate with nature, find the elemental attributes that are compatible with oneself, and thus transform the inner strength … Not only that, the Natural Breathing Technique can also continuously refine the inner strength, making the quality of the inner strength of the practitioner ten times, tens of times, or even a hundred times higher than that of an ordinary martial artist!”

Lu Sheng’s heart was surging, and he could not calm down for a long time.

This method of creating elemental talent martial artists could already be described as reshaping one’s foundation, seizing heaven’s fortune, and so on.

On the other hand, the advanced chapter of the Crystal Contemplation Method was a bit mediocre compared to the previous two.
